Beauty and the Beast: Production Week Has Begun!

SC Performing Arts Center
Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center (ESCAPE)

See that theater? It’s empty at the moment but come Friday, it will be filled with ticket holders!

The Boy is doing a promo for a radio show today at 11:30 a.m.! Hopefully he’ll get to sing a little bit as Lumiere. I am going to attempt to listen live. We’ll see how that goes.

Tonight is a long night in the theater but everyone is looking forward to the show. If you don’t see me around here too much this week, this is why. Between work and working backstage, time will be limited but I will try to pop-in to say “Hi!”

As a mom I worry about all sorts of stuff but hopefully this week will go smoothly and The Girl won’t break her leg for real at her roller skating field trip this Wednesday. Cross your fingers! She narrowly escaped an eye injury when a kite clipped her in the eye right before headshots. She is an injury magnet so if you could think good thoughts for both of them this week, I’d appreciate it.

The Sunday Salon: Photos!

As you know, my kids were in a recent production of The Music Man. Some of you have asked for pics and although I am not allowed to snap pics backstage, I did manage to sneak a few in. Shhhh.

Me and the Fam After the Show
Extended Family and Friends After the Show

We are a rag-tag group, are we not? No one in the Fam lets me take pictures so they are always rushed and everyone is always confused. Do I stand here? Am I supposed to be in this one? What are we doing right now? That last family pic has the following people in it, in case you are curious: (left to right) my one FIL, my nephew and his lovely wife, The Hub, The Girl, my MIL, The Boy, my other FIL, my SIL, my BIL, and two dear friends of the family.

Yep. Utter confusion. That is why we always look like an ant hill that just got stepped on. I REALLY wanted to get a photo of my daughter in her majorette costume but I was so sick at the time, it didn’t occur to me to try. The Boy also had so many different costumes that I never got to snap. Oh well!

Now for the Winter Formal pic. The ONLY pic I have because The Boy had a fever and he was not feeling well. You guessed it, he wouldn’t let me take any. All I have is this one professional pic taken at the dance.

They look great though, don’t they?

As for today, it’s gorgeous out and we are going to spend the day watching movies. I have Flight from Netflix and then we have been on a James Bond kick so we may watch one of those movies too. For dinner, possibly steaks on the grill. Maybe Carne Asada tacos. Haven’t decided but whatever it is, it will be grilled outdoors in this beautiful weather. Oh! I just remembered that The Girl has a birthday party right around dinner time. Hmmm. Will have to figure that one out.

Reading? I am reading Is This Tomorrow by Caroline Leavitt and I started The Adults by Alison Espach. What are you doing today?
